To be fair they'd known each other much too long to ever have one of "those moments." Friends since childhood, went to school together, and even went into college still as close as ever. Of course perhaps therein was the problem, most people had that spur of the moment passionate kind that came and went like a storm and left the person later still trying to remember what happened.
Growing like that, it was more of the small seed that had to sit and wait until it finally grew to a full out forest, even if it often was the more painful type. It was that form that stayed with you years after you and the person lost touch. The type that lead you to think about them when you would least to expect it, or turn on the street if you thought they walked by.
Far beyond any puppy love, crush, or a one night stand. The type that could go forever without ever being spoken, and still leave you with a broken heart. That- That was the type he was facing.
Of course it was ten times worse seeing how he also happened to be the person she hated more than anyone. Where did you stand when their was both? So rather than risk that moment of "passion." Rather than risk everything for that one shattering force that could plunge them both into a depression they'd never recover from? Instead he stepped back, and made do with the little things.
The moments they could be alone. Being there when she needed a shoulder, or doing whatever he could to see he still made her smile even if he had a heist half way across the world that same day. Ice Cream outings. Dinner, movies, just simply talking and chatting until late into the evening.
Little ways to show the affection, but things that would last far longer than say just one heated moment.
Still....
That was how it worked...
And in the end? Just enough.
